Summary
Circular motion, planets and gravity are covered. Students get multiple-choice questions on these topics.
Gravity and weight
Gravity pulls objects towards each other. Weight depends on gravity. Questions ask about weight on Earth, the Moon and other planets.
Planetary motion
Planets move in elliptical orbits. Retrograde motion is when planets seem to move backwards. Kepler and Copernicus studied planetary motion.
Circular motion
Objects moving in a circle change direction. Velocity and acceleration change. Centripetal force keeps objects in circular motion.
Tides and orbits
The Moon and Sun affect tides. Satellites orbit Earth. Questions ask about tidal effects and satellite orbits.
Key terms
- centripetal force
- The force that keeps an object moving in a circle.
- retrograde motion
- When a planet seems to move backwards in the sky.
- elliptical orbit
- The path that a planet takes around the Sun.
- Newton’s Law of Gravitation
- The force of gravity between two objects.
- weight
- The force of gravity on an object.
- mass
- The amount of matter in an object.
Questions this document helps with
- How does gravity affect weight on different planets?
- What causes retrograde motion of planets?
- How does centripetal force work in circular motion?
